Fogbows in Wales today

These Fogbows were spotted in Wales today. A fogbow forms when sunlight refracts tiny water droplets. It’s a similar process to how rainbows form but rather than the water droplets being rain they are mist or fog. pic.twitter.com/FAEqWcSmTX

The latest on Marian

Seems the big convective burst helped #Marian axisymmetrize and shrug off some of the E shear. With that, it's trying to organize & is starting to show off an eye right now. However, dry air is still a problem for the storm, & is keeping convection shallow on the S side of the TC pic.twitter.com/80Gz1IzHrk
